We’ve started a Beta phase for our new Mobile Messenger !

Next to our Mobile Internet version we have developed a new downloadable application that you can install on your phone.

Why a downloadable application? Our Mobile Internet version is already used by close to 6 million people around the world and growing at a huge pace, so it doesn’t seem that there’s a need for an extra product. Plus on some phones it can be quite a hassle to download and install an app.
The main reason is because a J2ME application has some advantages that the Mobile Internet cannot deliver:

- Fast response, so you don’t need to press ‘reload’ all the time.
- Low data traffic
- Sound notification of a new message and vibration when you receive a buzz
- Much better user interface

Starting point was to develop a plain and simple multi-net application that you can use intuitively for the main thing that you want such an application for: Chat with your buddies.

We decided not to build the Swiss-army knife that does 50 things that sound good, but you will never use. We like to k.i.s.s.
This doesn’t mean that we will not add features .
Sure, there’s stuff missing, but we want you to tell us so we can make what you want.
